Woman Arrested for Abusing Infant Daughter

At about 3 p.m. on February 12, a citizen witness observed a 22 year-old Milwaukee woman standing in front of a residence located in the 2400 block of W. Michigan Ave. Next to her was her 1 year-old daughter who was laying face down on the ground. The 22 year-old was then observed picking the child up and then dropping the child face down on concrete stairs. The woman then walked away from her child and approached a passing Milwaukee Police squad car. She told the officer in the squad car that she no longer wanted the child. The child was subsequently taken by ambulance to a local hospital for facial injuries that are not life-threatening. The child is still receiving medical attention at the hospital. The child’s mother was arrested for felony child abuse, and remains in police custody.
